Commentary

One of the series of personal names inscribed above altars rock-cut in niches; the 'owner' of the altar(s) engraved his name, but we do not know the deity to whom offerings were laid down.

Neither do we know whether the personal name was written at the nominative or genitive case.

Paci's description was misinterpreted in SEG, producing two similar items. The name Ἀντίπα[τρος] is engraved only once across two niches.
